One minister cited by the paper said it appeared to be a deliberate attempt to
“set up Rudd” by creating an excuse to sack him if he breached the cabinet
directive.
“As a government we are out and about every day explaining what we are doing
in the community,” Ms Gillard said Friday when asked about the report.
“We coordinate our expression of that message. We always have and we always
will.”
Last week, Ms Gillard insisted she will lead Labor into the next election, due
in 2013, even as a new poll showed she is less popular than Mr Rudd.
Of the 1,400 voters surveyed in the Nielsen poll for Fairfax newspapers, 57
percent said they wanted Mr Rudd as Labor leader against only 35 percent for
Gillard.
